"It’s a nightmare for everyone. You just have to cope as best you can until we work through it There is no end date to a virus that is now more prolific than at the start. Take each day as it comes and at some stage we will come out of this “ we isolate now so that when we can gather again, no one is missing “ " | |||

"post-Covid normality?" Post-covid normality will not be like the pre-covid normality. These things have a habit of shaping the future, the way all significant incidents do. I think '21 is a goner, and maybe we can think of '22 as being closer to the new norm. In saying that, I think lockdown as we know it know is not sustainable for long. I think it brings problems while solving others. The only way out as I see it is to get the population vaccinated as soon and as quickly as possible. This needs to be done 24/7. Vaccinating 60 million people isn't an easy task, but needs to be the number one government priority. | |||

"We are free. We've had limits imposed on us due to an illness that spreads rapidly through the population causing huge problems. But we're still free to think, write, say and read what we like. We're free to challenge authority, contact our loved ones and friends via various means, teach our children the values, morals and ideas we would like them to live by, marry who we like, have as many or no children.. . well you get the picture. We're free, we just have temporary limitations on what we're able to do " What a great way to consider our current predicament. I shall try to remember this. | |||

"Total normality - not for a few years. Being able to mix socially without restriction on numbers - late 2021/ early 2022. Sounds depressing doesn't it? I hope it's earlier than that." I agree but there will not be a return to the old normal. Too many people , clubs , businesses and jobs gone. The fallout from lockdowns will cause a massive recession . | |||

"It's going to be perceived individually, depending on lifestyle variations. Some don't ever go abroad, rarely to social venues, so they may perceive all is good much sooner than others, who travel a lot, go to concerts and have zero hours working etc. People going to swinging clubs, swinging holidays, with an active social calendar, including pubs, hotels and more, could find normality comes slower. I think we'll see stability in 2022" Very good post actually | |||

"When the F! will we be free again? Anybody hazard a guess as to when things will return to post-Covid normality?" 15 months minimum... Basically after next winter. The vaccine won't start to make a difference for 6 months at least ... Gonna be a year minimum before we get vaccine to all groups. Until then we need to distance to stop overloading the nhs for other treatments. | |||

"it never will end while we still have dickheads behaving the way they do..and there's plenty on here." Ain't that the truth! I gave up early on someone was arguing the point it was ok to go to the shop for just a loaf of bread without a mask because they couldn't wear one! So ok I get that some cant wear them! I empathize I really do! But no one but no one needs to go to shop for just a loaf?? Just go without till the next big shop? X | |||

"I think around the end of this year, and maybe some time in the first half of 2022." As many have said already its going to be 2022 before anything close to normality becomes feesable -and sadly that's probably a very best case scenario without anymore unexpected curveballs e.g. new variants, vaccine resistant or god for bid we find out the vaccine only offers protecttion for so long. If those things come to pass then we will be looking at 2023 before we are anything close to our old lives again. There's so many factors and curveballs that will hinder the road to recovery which is sadly a very narrow path we find ourselves on. I have friends who have pinned all there hopes on Boris previously saying we will be out of the woods and going back towards normal for March and the start of spring. Ifs the only thing keeping them going through the strain of been a key worker. I fear the big battle has only just begun. For the sake of my own mental health I am trying to come to terms with 2021 been a complete right off. KJ | |||

"Not normality as we know it but by spring we will have vaccinated the bulk of the population who are most likely to need hospital care. Once that has happened pressure on the NHS will simply evaporate and restrictions will be eased significantly but far from a return to normal. Infections will continue thoughout the summer but deaths will be confined to unvaccinated under 60s with numbers measured in high 10s per day rather than 1000s dropping to 10s per week by Autumn. Just so long as we don’t see a mutated strain that isn’t covered by the current vaccines, but let’s be hopeful." That sounds reasonable and also hopeful | |||

"It depends on what you/we want in regard as less restrictions. Retail will open up again and schools back again by early spring. As far as hospitality opening up again 2 months after schools and retail. Night clubs and saunas/clubs opening up again will not be until Sept 21. As for trips abroad there could be restrictions in place for some years to come. Gradually the Government will release list of country's deamed to be safe to travel to. In my regard Australia could well be another 18 months before I get to go again. There is no desire from Australia to open back up soon. " I'm hoping to see my family in Australia again before 2023. | |||
